TAP does look good. I "put" part of one toe in writing a Feb 21, 52.5 strike put for $1.21, LOL.

There is a lot of gold even nearer, the core of the earth. Enough to cover the entire surface of earth with a 1.5 foot thick layer!

24.8%, another 0.2% and I could have felt average.

There can never be enough cowbell,

It is known these myokines can cross the blood-brain barrier and promote neuroplasticity and blood vessel growth. Neurologist refer to brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) as brain fertilizer. Yes 75% of the BDNF in your brain is created there, hence the name, but it is also released from your muscles during exercise. Last week I talked about exercise in my class, "Keys to Learning."

We are living proof you can prevent sarcopenia!

MRI studies have found fit children have hippocampi about 12% larger than unfit children. In his book Boost Your Brain, Johns Hopkins neurologist Majid Totuhi, M.D., Ph.D. shows MRI scans with 16% increases in the size of the hippocampus after a vigorous exercise regimen. Arthur Kramer’s lab at U of I also found measurable increases in gray and white matter after 6 months of exercise in older adults. (S. J. Colcombe, K. I. Erickson, P. E. Scalf, J. S. Kim, R. Prakash, E. McAuley, S. Elavsky, D. X. Marquez, L. Hu and A. F. Kramer, "Aerobic Exercise Training Increases Brain Volume in Aging Humans," The Journals of Gerontology; Series A, vol. 61, no. 11, pp. 1166-1170, 2006). Besides exercise, you can increase brain regions with study (Maguire, E. A.; Gadian, D. G.; Johnsrude, I. S.; Good, C. D.; Ashburner, J.; Frackowiak, R. S. J.; Frith, C. D., “Navigation-related structural change in the hippocampi of taxi Drivers,” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 97 (8): 4398–4403 (2000) and Katherine Woodlett and Eleanor Maguire, “Acquiring "the Knowledge" of London’s Layout Drives Structural Brain Changes,” Current Biology 21, 2109-2114 (2011).) and meditation (Britta K. Hölzel, James Carmody, Mark Vangel, Christina Congleton, Sita M. Yerramsetti, Tim Gard, and Sara W. Lazar, “Mindfulness Practice Leads to Increases in Regional Brain Gray Matter Density,” Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging 191, no. 1 (2011): 36–43)

John, @John Hjorth I have a traditional US IRA. So I will also have forced, taxable withdrawals starting in 2027. I probably should have converted to a Roth IRA where you pay taxes and then there are no future taxes no matter how large it grows!

John, @John Hjorth you will enjoy it. If I recall, somehow Chernow was able to get into JPM 's archives to research the history.

I did not know that till a few years ago when I read The House of Morgan by Ron Chernow, a great book.

I have a lot of BRK with a lot of capital gains. So I have no intention of selling, at least initially. I'll watch how things go with the new management. I am trusting that Buffett has selected the new management as well as he has selected companies to buy!
